Happy Customers

I took in several pairs of pants and a casual dress from Temu (that cost me approximately $20) to get hemmed. In the past, I had paid around $15 per pair of pants for hemming, so I had no reason to expect anything DRAMATICALLY different for the dress.
When I picked up my items, I was shocked to discover they had charged me $50! just to hem the dress, more than double what I paid for the dress itself!
When I questioned the charge, Robin at the front counter (who said she was a manager when I asked for one) told me it was because I had brought in a “formal dress.” It was not a formal dress. It was an inexpensive, casual Temu dress. I explained that I had even told the seamstress how inexpensive the dress was when I dropped it off because I never would have agreed to a $50 alteration on a $20 dress.
Robin’s response was dismissive. She said, “Somebody could tell me it’s a $10 dress. It doesn’t matter how much it cost.” While I understand that alteration pricing isn’t necessarily based on the value of the garment, that’s exactly why I believe customers should be told the approximate cost before work begins, especially when the alteration will cost more than the item itself.
My experience when dropping off the dress wasn’t pleasant either. I arrived around 3:18 p.m. and asked for alterations. Robin looked at her watch and said, “Well, I mean, she’s getting ready to go, but I guess you can see if she’ll see you.” Prestige Cleaners is open until 6:30 p.m., and there is nothing posted indicating the seamstress leaves much earlier. The interaction made me feel like I was inconveniencing them simply by coming in during normal business hours.
Afterward, I spoke with Brandon Palmer, by phone, who I assume is a manager. Unfortunately, the conversation only made things worse.
He told me that I should have asked what the alteration would cost before agreeing to it. However, he also said they couldn’t tell me a price beforehand because they don’t know exactly how much hemming or cutting will be involved until they do the work. Those two statements completely contradict each other. How can it be my fault for not asking if your business says it can’t provide an estimate anyway?
He also tried to justify the $50 charge by saying that although it wasn’t a formal dress, it was a “formal alteration” because the hem went all the way around the dress. Of course it went all the way around, that’s how dresses are hemmed! Calling it a “formal alteration” because it was a full circular hem didn’t make the charge feel any more reasonable.
I explained that if anyone had simply said, “This alteration is going to cost around $50,” I would have thanked them, declined the service, and returned the dress instead. A simple conversation could have prevented this entire situation.
I suggested they post pricing guidelines or at least provide customers with an estimate before performing expensive alterations. Brandon refused to offer any meaningful resolution. He said he couldn’t issue a partial refund because he would have to refund the entire transaction, which made little sense to me since partial refunds are common in many businesses. Instead, after the rude treatment I received, he offered me a $15 store credit toward future services.
Needless to say, I declined. After this experience, I have no desire to return.
My biggest complaint isn’t just the price, it’s the lack of transparency, the contradictory explanations, and the dismissive way I was treated by both Robin and Brandon. Customers should be told when an alteration will cost significantly more than expected, especially when it exceeds the value of the item being altered!
Buyer beware: Ask for an estimate, but apparently they can’t tell you, before leaving anything for alterations, because you will not know the cost until it’s too late.
Knoxville is fortunate to have Prestige.
I realize pricing will not stay the same and things have gone up tremendously, but just be aware that you are going to pay a pretty penny for your dry cleaning. I guess it’s one of those things that businesses are not responsible if you can’t afford the service, lol, so I understand. Great staff, very professional, beautiful work. Thank you.
The blues brighter over all! Could not have been more pleased !!! I Highly recommend Prestige !!!
I did not hear from them on the day items were promised. Come to find out, it seems their non follow-up was due to one of my items being lost. No one reached out to tell us - we only found out when my husband went to check on our clothes a couple days after promised. They assured us they would find the item and follow up. That was over a week ago. Crickets. Sadly, this was a designer top that I’ve only gotten to wear once.
I’m concerned about bringing clothes there in the future.
I was very surprised and pleased!
I won’t forget about the type of service I received! Great service!
When I had time, I emailed their corporate office. I later called the Taggert location, speaking to another Amanda who was very helpful, learning that the Taggert location was only a few miles from the Merchants location.
I later got an email back from Jason Thurman and was told that they communicated every way they could about the closure of Merchants location and that the Taggert location was nearby. I screenshot shot their still active listing for Merchants on Apple Maps and sent it to him.
Crickets ….
When I dropped my clothing off, I was also given a receipt that said it would be ready for pickup at 6:00pm on Wednesday. I didn’t receive a text on Wednesday letting me know that it was available, so I texted them.
Also, crickets ….
I called them mid-morning on Thursday after not hearing back from them and spoke with Amanda at the Taggert location again to learn that my dry cleaning was not done, but they were taking care of it at the time. She later called back to tell me that it was available for pickup, which I appreciated.
As of today, the Merchants location is still listed as an active business on Apple Maps.
It’s clear that Prestige is going through some changes and needs to get some things cleaned up, but my dry cleaning was still done well.
I know that I’m not the only one experiencing these inconveniences, but I hope everyone will bear with them, as I have, while they get back up to their previous standards.
I do appreciate them sending me this link asking for the review, especially since I’ve already contacted them, and they knew of my experience. In my opinion, that speaks very well of them to want all sides presented in their reviews. I trust that they will update their phone listing to state that the Merchants location is closed and will also update their Apple Maps information to closed or to redirect them to an open location.
Your staff is amazing — very professional, knowledgeable, and kind! They make the encounter a pleasure — Carl and Amanda are simply outstanding!
I had used a product called Badge Magic to secure patches onto my son’s Boy Scout uniform. Now that he’s an adult I needed to remove patches from areas that are now supposed to be left patch-free, and the Badge Magic left a horrible, black adhesive residue behind. I first took it to Halls Cleaners and they were unable to remove it, and instead ended up making the adhesive worse as it spread to other areas of the shirt. I thought for sure I was just going to have to buy a new uniform shirt, which is expensive. As a last minute, what the heck decision, I decided to try Prestige Cleaners to see if they could remove it. I couldn’t believe what I saw when I picked it up a few days later. It looks brand new! I’m ecstatic!
